Can we seperate the threads? You can make your idea the DOTW and mine just a general thread... I really don't mind other people doing it. Doesn't need to be my thing. But the 2 topics just seem kind of weird being in the same thread.

Not really. Too many stickied threads as it is. 1st Half Awards are just personal opinion on who's going to be pick. Not much discussion per say, so the question added in will just be sort of like a bonus question. GOTTA STIMULATE YOU MINEEEE CRAAAAAIGGGGG

[The Chosen One]

Oh and forgot to put this at the end for you weso.

I mean make mine just a regular thread, change the thread title and unpin it. And then make a DOTW thread for your idea. Like I said I really didn't intend for this to be a Weso1 only thing.

Beacy to the pen, at least at first. As for Wood: if he truly is headed for the rotation, I have to think Maholm is the guy who's traded or, less likely, added to the bullpen.

NL CY young is debatable... kershaw

Yep I'm in the Kershaw camp as well

I thought it was very close. I gave it to Harvey because he's not in quite as good of a pitcher's park and he has the K advantage.
